聖嚴法師以弘傳「心靈環保」理念做為漢傳佛教普及、推廣活動的核心內容。通過多年的努力，聖嚴法師在漢傳佛教的普及和推廣方面已經取得了卓有成效的建樹，是漢傳佛教國際化、普及化、俗信化的楷模。聖嚴法師普及、推廣漢傳佛教的主要內容可從兩個方面予以說明：一方面，理論上澄清佛教的基本思想，將人們誤解、不解的佛學知識、義理等闡釋清楚，容易讓人理解和接受，從而能夠明白佛教的真正精神和蘊涵是什麼。另一方面，實踐上指出具體的修行方法。將佛教修行方法變得不再神祕、不再難以落實，從而糾正了人們對佛教修行過程中的具體困惑。綜合聖嚴法師普及、推廣漢傳佛教的活動，從中顯示出三個特點：一是內容上的生命性，二是方法上的多樣性，三是境界上的易行性。
